Amy Schumer and Kate Middleton Have This Pregnancy Condition in Common

Lior Zaltzman

In a recent Instagram post, Amy Schumer opened up how pregnancy — despite all its happiness and wonder — can really suck sometimes. And it's so totally relatable. Schumer recently announced… her pregnancy, jokingly comparing herself to a certain expecting royal, Meghan Markle. But it looks like she's feeling more like another recently pregnant royal: Schumer spoke out about being diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum, a condition Kate Middleton endured in her pregnancies.

Finding Jewish Embryos Is a Struggle. So We’re Donating Ours.

Lauren Manaker

Back when my husband and I were in the thick of our infertility journey, the last thing we were thinking about was what to do with any extra embryos.

Amy Klein

“We should totally watch this Saturday night,” my friend Jennifer emailed me, sending a link to the new Netflix movie, Private Life, about an older New York couple (played Kathryn Hahn and Paul… Giamatti) who will do nearly anything to have a baby, including IVF, donor eggs, and adoption. Because I was very public about my infertility journey, a lot of people had been emailing me about the film, sending links to links to podcasts, articles, trailers. But if I couldn’t even bring myself to watch the three-minute… >> Read More

You have (one or more) gorgeous, well-behaved little angels. The world deserves more of your offspring. You and your partner decide to try for one more. You follow the rule book, pee on ovulation… sticks, ask Google some very intimate questions, and, eventually, there it is: That second red line. You’ve boarded the train to preggersville!
